I've been doing the same elsewhere.  ;-)

Just a quick note about the above: the source package conists of the .dsc, the 
.orig tarball, and the .debian diff tarball.  I was able to get those from 
your website and extract them via 'dpkg-source -x'.

You might consider making yourself your own private Debian repository with 
these packages BTW, which would help both you and others use them.  I recently 
did this; the three main options I considered were reprepro, DAK, and mini-
buildd, and I ended up using reprerpo -- it works well for several thousand 
packages, is packaged for Debian, and has a simple dependency list that 
doesn't require a web server.

The main you'll need is to create a keyring package which drops a .gpg file 
containing the public signing key(s) into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/.  reprepro 
also needs a gpg key to sign the package list file, so my keyring ended up 
having two GPG keys becuase I didn't want the secret key for my private GPG 
key on my server.  If the server's GPG key contains a password, you'll also 
need to run gpg-agent on the server, and configure gnupg for pinentry and 
install a pinentry package.

If you're interested in discussing this more, please contact me.  :-)

Thanks much.
Builds clean in cowbuilder.  Very nice job with the debian/rules file.  
Likewise with the DEP-3 formatted patches.  ;-)

Just one hint I was given that I'll pass on:

  - The debian/copyright file could be upgraded to the 1.0 format.  See:
    http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

Thanks for your work!  :-)
